Bird Blog

These are all the birds I photographed in my back yard last evening:Brown ThrasherRed Winged Blackbird (I think)Brown headed Cowbird and the BlackbirdFemale red bellied woodpecker (Thanks, Mike for catching that!)Mr and Mrs Cardinal

I used to use a seed mix in winter that was heavy on dried fruits and oily seeds including peanuts. I had to stop because the red-bellied woodpeckers would toss seed onto the ground until they found the peanuts before flying off with them. Rinse and repeat. Ground-feeders like the ducks and doves loved it, though.
